Reviews for The Bear of Rodborough Hotel
A magical day
In the lead up, we felt fully supported and nothing felt like too much.
We really appreciated all of the attention to detail on the day which made our day run smoothly.
The food was delicious; we chose afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast, which was the perfect choice for a very hot summers day!
We would not change a thing about our day and it just felt truly magical. If you're looking for a beautiful venue where everything can be taken care of for you, look no further!
We struck gold!
The Bear is unique. The first thing that must strike any visitor to The Bear is its extraordinarily beautiful location! The views from the hotel, with its high position within a huge expanse of rural beauty, is just breathtaking!
But The Bear does not rely on its geographical location alone to make it attractive. As one enters the hotel it is immediately apparent that the interior is full of character and charm with its many intriguing nooks and crannies. The bar is well-stocked and the rooms offer comfort, convenience and variety that make this a suitable venue for those guests with mobility issues.
From the first time we met with Amanda and the team we knew we had struck gold. Nothing was too much trouble and our ideas and changes-of-mind were always received with flexibility and willingness to accommodate the many personal touches that we wished to incorporate into our small family wedding.
We needed to accommodate 25 guests and the Terrace Room worked perfectly for our ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening entertainment. We also had use of the Garden Room, with its cosy, blazing log fire, and the Marquee, which, when warmed with the efficient and silent heaters, offered a sizeable and comfortable space for larger groups of guests to sit and talk.
The food was outstanding and this vital aspect of our day offered yet another example where the restaurant manager and the chef were wonderfully accommodating. Our guests’ dietary needs were easily met and the service, appearance and, most importantly, taste of the food were superb.
If all this wasn’t enough, just across the road is a renowned ice cream factory, where the local Winstones ice cream is made, sold and delicious! Who knows…this, too, might become a feature of your wedding at The Bear!
Just perfect
Fabulous wedding
Best venue we could've wished for

Amanda & her team went above & beyond. The Terrace room was the best & the surrounding garden was beautiful for a September day/evening. Our food was just incredible too.
Fantastic from start to finish.
